Bullaun stone in DavidstownBullaun stone · 112 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Bullaun stone in Davidstown has a curse that only hits people who don’t wave hello. It’s got a hole in it for good reason, probably. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

CloonpatrickCairn, unclassified · 112 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Cloonpatrick means 'The Place Where You Forgot Your Shoes', if you ask me, which is basically the whole point of a cairn. It’s just a pile of rocks with commitment issues. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Davidstown is losing a fierce rivalry with Newgrange, screaming about its lack of press coverage. It claims it has better views, which is probably true. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

worker's house4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Worker's house in Newrath would say, 'I have steady income and good references' at any job interview. It built itself for railway workers who needed somewhere decent to nap. Go before the tourists wake it up.

Granny BridgeBridge · 4.1 mi

Explorer Tom Granny Bridge in Newrath has a hidden message carved in the limestone, probably just 'don't fall'. It’s rustic and looks like it was built by someone who knew exactly what they were doing. Dare you to say hello to the stones.

Granny CastleCastle, tower house · 4.6 mi

Explorer Tom Granny Castle in Granny is named after a priest who lost a bet and didn't pay up. He still blames the tower house for his bad luck, which is rich. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.

IndicatedBawn · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Bawn in Granny is just a wall that thinks it's the main event. Saint Patrick would have called it a fence with delusions of grandeur, honestly. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
